So now it’s WAR!

Are you ready to cut me down,

Just because I have a song that’s different from your own?

Lock me up, or beat me down,

Till I’m afraid to speak…

It’s too damn dangerous out there

When people try to think!

You try to devastate me

With your critical look,

Full of passages

From what you call "a good book".

It’s all you ever read,

So you know it

Must be right—

It gives you leave

To spread the grief

At what makes you uptight!

It’s very simple—

I know he’ll get along fine,

If you go your way,

And I go mine!

You can’t find the power in your life

Except for what you take—

What nature didn’t create is

Oh, so easy to fake!

All faced off against the fearsome

Kids you worked so hard to raise;

All tied up in that nice neat little package

You slaved your soul to make!

But for all your polish

And your bright shiny chrome,

You just can’t shake the feeling

That you’ve never been at home!

You find your answer here,

Then you find the

New improved model there—

Change your beliefs as easy as you

Dye your hair!

I’ve got a message, and it’s

Just short of divine:

Concentrate on your own mess

Before you mess with mine!

Your long nose and your long arm seem to

Always butt in here—

Whatever my private life, you feel obliged to

Interfere!

You think all your ills would be solved

If I’d just disappear –

If all the world could see

What seems to you

So clear !

But I’ve got news you should attend ,

So I’ll just clue you in:

People have done

What they love to do

Ever since the world began !

You can knock them,

You can jail them,

But in the end you’ll see:

You can’t

S mash a spirit that’s demanding

To be free!

See if you can maybe

Read my lips this time –

Go live your

So-called life,

And leave me to mine!
